Both FDM and the Higg FEM are hosted on the Worldly platform. FDM is modeled after Higg FEM 4.0 to allow brands and facilities to gather this data in real time throughout the year.
FDM covers up to 100% of level 1 quantitative data in FEM 4.0.
When FDM is validated a brand is able to see if a question/data was incorrect like in the FEM.
To access translations of the FEM question by question guidance in Bengali, Chinese, Italian, Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, and Vietnamese, please refer to the Higg FEM 2025 Resources.
